Reflection Journal: Quick Writes
Quick Write #1: A proverb is a short but memorable saying that tells some important fact about life that many people believe to be true.

Choose a proverb, make a cartoon or drawing illustrating its meaning, then write a short essay to explain it. Use this web site to help you: World of Quotes.
